Video Library Filter - bighead85 - 2014-09-30
Hi All,
I am struggling with a rather specific task with a skin. When in the video library there is the filter in side menu, it looks like a toggle and that is exactly what i want it to do.
I want Toggle on = filter is genre/26 (family) in both TV and Movie
Toggle off = filter is not genre/26 (family) in both TV and Movie.
Purpose is to stop having to switch profiles to see my movies etc or my kids.
When i add link as favourite it uses ActivateWindow(10025,"videodb://movies/genres/26/",return) which is great as I could use the visible tag to set one for TV and one for Movie and only show one depending on what user is looking at.
But when i include this in <onclick> it does not work. (as a favourite link no worries)
I think it could work similar to Watched/unwatched toggle but i know that is a Kodi function the skin can utilise.
Any help would be great, thank you

Think you are looking for smart playlists. Then you can add those to main menu.

You can also try nodes

I am currently using smart playlists, the downside is it gives me four links;
Kids Movies
Kids TV
Movies
TV Shows
Will explore nodes and see if i can do something with them, as i said before my perfect solution would be a toggle like the unwatched, nodes may be able to get me there.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you want to hide buttons while in library you can do that based on partial path.
<visible>Substring(Container.FolderPath,video/Kids)</visible>
But that won't hide them in main menu.
